VGridControlBase.CustomRecordCellEditForEditing Event

Allows you to assign a custom editor to a cell for in-place editing, and so override the default row editor, which is by default, used both in display and edit modes. To avoid performance issues and increased memory consumption, assign repository items that already exist in the VGridControl.RepositoryItems collection. Do not create new repository items in this handler.

public event GetCustomRowCellEditEventHandler CustomRecordCellEditForEditing

Public Event CustomRecordCellEditForEditing As GetCustomRowCellEditEventHandler

Event Data

The CustomRecordCellEditForEditing event's data class is GetCustomRowCellEditEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
CellIndex	Gets the processed cell’s index. Inherited from RowCellEventArgs.
RecordIndex	Gets the index of the record containing the processed cell. Inherited from RowCellEventArgs.
RepositoryItem	Gets or sets the editor assigned to the processed cell.
Row	Gets the processed row. Inherited from RowEventArgs.

Remarks

You can assign an in-place editor to a row via the RowProperties.RowEdit property, or to an individual row cell via the VGridControlBase.CustomRecordCellEdit event. This editor will be used to represent a cell’s contents in display mode (when the cell isn’t currently edited), and by default in edit mode. If you need to provide different editors to represent a cell’s contents differently in display and edit modes, handle the CustomRecordCellEditForEditing event.

To assign an editor to a cell for in-place editing while handling the CustomRecordCellEditForEditing event, assign a corresponding repository item to the RepositoryItem parameter. Note that the repository item must belong to the grid control’s RepositoryItems collection (see the inherited EditorContainer.RepositoryItems property) or to an external repository (see the EditorContainer.ExternalRepository property).

The following example illustrates how to assign the ProgressBarControl for all “Quantity” cells, and replace this editor with a SpinEdit when a user starts modifying a cell value.
